Researching renter's insurance

Covers things that happen inside the place, not the place itself (e.g. building destruction). 

Requiring renter's insurance is common. 

Three types of coverage available within renter's insurance: 
	•	Loss of use
	•	Personal property
	•	Personal liability (required in our case)


Lots of 'Umbrella policies", which cover a whole bunch of things (Auto, Home, etc.)
	•	Cost between $150-$300 per year for $1 million coverage

Questions: 
	•	We live together: do we each need renter's insurance?

Hi we need to get a quote on renter's insurance for our new apartment 
We need it to include personal liability insurance  of at least 300,000 - 1 mil
Also, thinking of getting personal property insurance

Can we get a quote? 
Can we do personal liability now and add in the personal prop protection later? Will it be more expensive




We only really care about theft. 

should i not give ssn? I guess it's safe.
